This bone marrow is then given to the bone marrow recipient.

In a bone marrow transplant, the bone marrow used typically comes from a donor who matches the recipient's tissue type. This matching helps reduce the risk of rejection. The bone marrow is usually harvested from the donor's hip bones using a needle.
What kind of bone marrow transplantuses bone marrow from a doner?

How does a bone marrow transplant impact your blood type?
A bone marrow transplant can change a person's blood type to that of the donor's. This is because the bone marrow produces blood cells, including red blood cells that determine blood type. After a transplant, the new bone marrow starts producing blood cells with the donor's blood type.
Can a bone marrow biopsy determine if you are compatible for a bone marrow transplant?
Yes, a bone marrow biopsy can determine if the donor and recipient are compatible for a bone marrow transplant. This involves analyzing the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) markers present in the bone marrow cells of both the donor and recipient to assess compatibility. Matching these markers increases the chances of a successful transplant.

This procedure is commonly used to treat conditions like leukemia, where the patient's bone marrow is not functioning properly.
